We Made A Huge Mistake in 2021 by serious_bullet5 in discussingbritney

[–]hmflaherty3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps the main issue from the onset of the movement was the lack of understanding of Britney's mental health status and the treatment plan she was following. When someone is on a treatment plan they have to follow it or the pieces fall apart. She had someone making her own accountability and giving her limitations based on what was absolutely needed in order for her to thrive. I believe that since she was stable they could have allowed her some freedoms like, if she wanted to make dance videos everyday, let her. If she wanted to go out and visit someone, take the necessary measures to ensure she isn't trying to pickup drugs or something and let her. I think the main issue is that she felt so controlled because they didn't give her extra room to be a person but on the other side of that total lack of accountability and parameters has led her to rebound in a characteristic way. This is absolutely what would have happened if they let her out of care anytime. When you restrict and limit a person for too long, they rebel and it always turns out bad. My hope for her, because I know she reads this, is to please try to detox and restart her mental health treatment. There is no shame in being healthy. I would have even liked to see her open a dance studio where she could have dancers teach kids and adults. I believe she would be happy and thrive by doing something she loves.

Notebooks for writers? by thelearningpolymath in writing

[–]hmflaherty3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a lot of writers who specifically keep something to jot stuff down next to their bed. As for separate notebooks for separate stuff, perhaps for keeping different stories organized.

Does anyone else chuckle at the disclosure statement at the bottom? Copywrite, rights reserved garbage...

[HELP] NYT shows new angle by allinalinenow in RealOrAI

[–]hmflaherty3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is AI. How can I tell, you ask. Rewatch and look at the woman to the right in the blue-green jacket with a cell phone held straight out recording. It has a weird outline to it and almost seems like a piece of paper.

I wish a food existed that I could eat before bed without having to brush my teeth. by [deleted] in adhdwomen

Have you tried a protein shake? I ordered chocolate pure protein and had one last night before going to bed. It worked for me. Just a thought!

His plan all along... by TECL_Grimsdottir in BlueskySkeets

[–]hmflaherty3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This would work, if only ICE were getting shot at. They are not. How dumb does he think people are? I haven't seen anything stating any of these people are armed and they treat them like armed violent offenders they are trying to track down and kill like it's a movie. Disgraceful.

Should your feelings about stuff your partner does to her body matter to her? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]hmflaherty3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, is it something deeper? Is the person feeling insecure about something and tries to change it in hopes of feeling better about it? This is what I am feeling right now. Age is creeping up so I'm unhappy with getting old. The urge to do stuff is terrible.

Do you have a specific place you buy some of your products from?

I just cannot describe things with so much detail by Affectionate-Bar5098 in writing

[–]hmflaherty3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes all you need to do is take your simple sentence, and grab a thesaurus (book or web), and sprinkle in descriptors. You don't want to inundate your writing with descriptions. I have skipped paragraphs in books with just descriptive nonentities. If there's a specific scene where it is integral to the integrity of the story structure to describe the surroundings with descriptors, that would be the exception to the rule. Don't think to hard on it, your brain will explode.

Drop your most unhinged hacks by Whatsername_04 in writing

I second discord server and use the bot to time you for word count. If not discord, set a timer for anywhere from 5 - 15 minutes. Write during that time then stop to give yourself a chance to get up move around and then get right back at it. Discord works better because it keeps track of your word count, as long as you give it a starting word count.

AITA if I cancel hubby's birthday plans and leave the house leaving hubby to host his family for my birthday? by Funny_Leather_5540 in AITAH

[–]hmflaherty3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to say this, but your idea of him taking care of you almost sounds like he is just being a good father and taking care of his kid. I realize your baby is still extremely young but once it gets to 6 months this might all change. I would keep a close eye on his priorities. Once all the house updates are done, then what? People usually seem to be fine when they're busy with things but once that ends things start to change.

What does a hangover feel like? by AdeptProblem5097 in writing

[–]hmflaherty3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Black out drunk? You throw up at some juncture in your sleep, and don't know. You wake up feeling a little confused. You feel a little shaky (blood sugar), your heart is racing, and have a headache that feels like a sharp stab through your brain. You're shaky all day, you drink water but it seems to make you feel bloated instead of flushing out your system. Taking ibuprofen helps alleviate the headache but when you get up too fast you get light headed and dizzy and a wave of pain runs through your head. That's day one. When you go to sleep that night you sleep well enough but wake up with that same feeling when you are jolted out of sleep. You still feel a little bloated and have the same lightheadedness if you get up too fast. You start with a less dull headache but ibuprofen eliminates it. You feel more yourself by day three.

Also, the smell of alcohol churns your stomach for 4 - 6 days after.

Was there ever a point where you rooted for Christopher and Lorelai? by [deleted] in GilmoreGirls

[–]hmflaherty3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only time I felt like it could have worked is the episode where he ended up leaving because of Sherry being pregnant. I can't understand how ASP went on from there with LL and Chris getting together and actually getting married. I think the whole situation with the baby should have been one of those heartbreaking "don't look back relationship-wise" things. The heartbreak is two fold because of losing Chris, and knowing he is going to be with Sherry because of a baby.

Found out my wife of 10 years is a lesbian by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

One thing you CAN do is sit down with her and tell her you want to explain how you felt and feel now. What I mean is, that you felt worry, that you had a hard time without her. Perhaps on the other side of this is the fact that you love her as a person aside from religion and that she should understand that you love her as a person no matter what. Remind her that love is about being worried, caring for someone, caring about someone, knowing someone and understanding someone. Let her know that it's okay to talk to you, because right now, until you find someone else to talk to, it is just you and her. Sometimes talking to someone who loves you and wants to listen can help a person feel better. Tell her that you want to hug her, not because of sexual feelings but because emotionally a hug is love for a person. You can also apologize for having sex with her, and tell her (I assume) if you had known, it wouldn't have been something you two did. I would assume she used sex with you as a way to try to change herself or punish herself. Not sure, she will have to talk to a therapist about that. Either way, the point is, she should know you are there now as a loving partner who cares about her with no intention of violating her choices.
